In the next few days, representatives from Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates came to Hong Kong to visit the headquarters of Star Group, and Liu Hui personally met with the representatives of these countries in his office.

Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates – a few Middle Eastern countries – have one thing in common: they are desperately short of water, but they are rich because of the oil buried in the ground. As soon as the representatives of these countries saw Liu Hui, they bluntly expressed their intentions to Liu Hui. They are here for the desalination of the Star Group, hoping that the Star Group will be able to provide a large amount of fresh water to their country.

Liu Hui had previously received the contents of the reports that these countries had reported to Victory, and knew what their intentions were. These Middle Eastern countries chose to stand on the side of the Star Group in this military operation specifically aimed at the Star Group, and they successfully prevented the US ground forces from reaching the Persian Gulf from their territory, prevented the desalination ships from being surrounded by the US ground forces, and made a great contribution to the Star Group's final victory.

Therefore, when the representatives of these Middle Eastern countries expressed their intentions to Liu Hui, Liu Hui happily signed an agreement with them on the supply of fresh water to their country by the Star Group. After all, the Star Group does not have many allies now, and now it is difficult to wait for these Middle Eastern countries to send them to the door, in order to reassure their hearts, the Star Group naturally wants to give them some benefits.

The agreement stipulates that Star Group will provide 20 million tonnes of fresh water per day to the four countries, and a year later the supply of fresh water will increase to 100 million tonnes per day, while the price of fresh water will remain at US$0.08 per tonne. The agreement also stipulates that the above-mentioned countries must ensure the security of Star Group's assets in the Gulf region, and that some of their statements on international issues must be discussed with Star Group in advance to make their positions as consistent as possible.

The signing of the desalination agreement between Star Group and these wealthy Middle Eastern nations marks the official formation of a close alliance between them. Through this agreement, the Star Group not only directly obtained a large number of economic benefits, but also indirectly controlled the domestic oil policies of these countries, and obtained their political support for the Star Group, so that the Star Group could make its own voice in the international community. If necessary, Star Group can even achieve its own strategic goals by influencing the production and price of oil in these countries.

And those Middle Eastern countries are extremely happy, after forming an alliance with the Star Group, they will ensure that they will have a large source of fresh water in their country, so that they can use this fresh water to improve their own domestic natural environment. In a few years, the environment in their country will change dramatically, and even when the oil in their country is exhausted, their descendants will be able to continue to live on the land. And with the rapid development momentum of the Star Group, choosing to cooperate with them is also conducive to the future development of these countries, so the cooperation between the Star Group and these Middle Eastern countries will be a win-win cooperation, and after learning that the Star Group has signed a desalination contract with these rich countries in the Middle East, many countries and organizations are very disappointed, they are watching the Star Group monopolize the desalination of the entire Middle East, but they are unable to do anything because their skills are not as good as others. At the same time, they also found that as Star Group strengthened its cooperative relationship with the major oil-producing countries in the Gulf region, their voice in the Gulf region began to weaken, and their words were no longer as effective as before.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ time passed quickly, another month passed, in this month, the Star Group is still creating a new miracle in the history of the world economy, and the products they produce are still selling well in the world market as before, and there are no strong competitors to compete with them.

This makes countless countries and enterprises envious, and they can't understand why in the current downturn in the market, why can't they see the decline in sales of Star Group's products? And how does Star Group keep their products selling well?

And the nerves of those experts who rely on the specialty-based study of the Star Group have long been tempered by the often unexpected actions of the Star Group, and they will no longer show a look of surprise at a so-called miracle of the Star Group, and they think in their hearts that no matter what the Star Group does, it is natural and logical.

In this month's time, the things that the Star Group has been secretly planning for a long time finally have an eyebrow, so after they are ready, they officially send an invitation letter to the global media, inviting them to come to the headquarters of the Star Group on the eighth day of this month to participate in a press conference hosted by the Star Group, at which time the Star Group will announce a very important news at this press conference.

In this invitation, the Star Group made a fuss, and they did not disclose what important news they would announce at this press conference. But it is precisely because of this suspense that those media reporters will be interested in this press conference, and people all over the world will be interested in this press conference.

Therefore, although the media reporters did not know what important news would be announced at the press conference of the Star Group, they were very excited after receiving the invitation letter from the Star Group, and immediately sent their elite soldiers to the headquarters of the Star Group in Hong Kong to strive to get back the most exclusive news.

It has been a long time since Star Group held a formal press conference, so no matter what important news they will announce at this press conference, this press conference is worth the participation of these media reporters. Because in the current world, as long as there is a little bit of news related to the Star Group, it will be warmly sought after by the people of the world. They didn't have a channel to get the news of the Star Group before, and now that the Star Group has taken the initiative to release the news, how could they miss the source of this news?

So on the 8th, the number of media reporters from all over the world rushed to the headquarters of Hong Kong Star Group exceeded 2,000. When these reporters arrived at the headquarters of the Star Group, they found that there was already a long queue at the scene, and they were all undergoing strict security checks by the Star Security Personnel at the entrance of the Star Group. Looking at the security check level of those security personnel, it is already comparable to the security check at the airport.

These reporters are well-informed people, and they vaguely know that they may encounter real big news today, otherwise Star Group would not have such strict security procedures, so they all cooperate with the security personnel to carry out security checks.

After going through strict security checks, the reporters were gathered together and boarded in the big car of the Star Group, and then the big car started to drive them towards the beach.

This made those reporters very strange, they originally thought that this press conference would be held in the headquarters of the Star Group, and then they could not only understand the specific content of the press conference, but also visit the interior of this most mysterious Star Group, but they did not expect to be directly taken to the beach by a big car.

Just when these reporters were wondering, the big car stopped next to a small pier by the sea, and then these reporters began to get out of the car, and they all boarded the luxury cruise ship that had been prepared on the pier for a long time, and then the luxury cruise ship began to start, and took these reporters towards the open sea of the Star Group.

"Excuse me, where are you going to take us?" A female reporter finally couldn't help it and began to ask the security staff of the Star Security Company who was standing next to her with expressionless faces.

The security officer politely said, "We're going to send you to your destination." ”

The female reporter asked curiously, "Isn't your Star Group's press conference held at your headquarters?" Why are you sending us to the sea now? ”

The security officer pointed ahead and said, "Our destination is ahead, and we will be there soon, and as for why we are sending you there, you will know when you go." ”

The reporters on the luxury cruise ship looked in the direction pointed by the security officer, and immediately found a super-large offshore construction platform moored in the sea off Budaiao, which was very large in area, comparable to some large islands. On the large offshore platform, it is clearly divided into two sides, on one side is the bustling construction site that is in full swing, and on the other side is the elegant and beautiful woods, on which some tall buildings are built, and there are a few small hills next to it.

"Ahh I see, this is the large floating island built by the legendary Star Group. I've always seen photos taken from satellites, and those taken from the shore are blurry, and I haven't been able to see the full picture of this floating island in the sea. I didn't expect it to be so majestic and magnificent from this angle, it's really breathtaking! A reporter immediately recognized the origin of this large offshore construction platform.

In fact, the world's media have long noticed the large-scale offshore platform built by the Star Group, but the Star Group has been secretive and has not released any data on this offshore platform, so the world has not known about this offshore platform and has no intuitive impact. So until today, it is the first time they have really seen this mysterious large building on the sea.

"It's really spectacular, and from what I've seen, the area of this floating island is more than 20 square kilometers." Another reporter nodded. He then took out his camera to take pictures of the offshore platform.

The starry sky security personnel next to him did not stop the reporter's filming action at all, so more reporters began to photograph this mysterious maritime structure.

"Twenty square kilometers of floating islands in the sea? God, is this true? You must know that the area of the largest artificial floating island in the world was only two square kilometers. Even if it is such a small floating island, the amount of money spent is an astronomical amount, and the area of this floating island of the Star Group has reached twenty square kilometers, so how much money does it have to cost? And you see, the construction is still going on on the other side of it, so are they going to continue to expand the area of this floating island in the sea? The female reporter said in surprise.

"People have money in the Star Group, can you manage how they like to spend it? You must know that their operating income reached more than $1 trillion last year, and in terms of GDP alone, they can even rank 13th among all countries. What's more, the profits of their company's products must be very high, so they can be regarded as a rich country, and there should be no difficulty in building this large floating island. The reporter who assessed the size of the island said.

"I heard that Mr. Liu Hui, the owner of the Star Group, built this floating island on the sea for the purpose of building a resort center to facilitate his own vacation in the future, is this true?" The female reporter asked.

"This isn't supposed to be done for vacation, right? If so, it would be too extravagant, and many times more extravagant than those who have been most extravagant throughout the ages. Another reporter said.

"But what did the Star Group take us to this floating island in the sea to do? Is it for us to visit this floating island in the sea? A reporter asked the doubts in everyone's hearts.

"The front is there right away, and we'll know it when we get there." An old reporter said.

The reporters stopped talking, and opened the cameras in their hands and pressed the shutter of the cameras to record the entire picture of the largest sea steel monster ever built on Earth.

The "Star City" is not very far from the Star Group, only ten kilometers, so this luxury cruise ship quickly drove to the "Star City", it docked at a small pier, and then the reporters on board began to disembark, and when these reporters disembarked, the luxury cruise ship immediately returned and continued to pick up the reporters behind.

"Am I not mistaken? Is this really a floating island in the sea? The female reporter couldn't believe her eyes.

When the female reporter disembarked, she found that the shape of this small pier was no different from that of the dock on land, and that the coastline next to it was all a large beach of fine golden sand, and there were some coconut trees planted on the beach. And when she stood on this beach, she found that there was no feeling of jolting on the sea under her feet, so she actually thought that she was still on land for a while, so she asked this question.

"What's going on? I also felt like I was on land. Not only does it have a sandy beach, but it also extends out to sea and has its own continental shelf. And you see there, it's actually a forest, and the surrounding scenery is also very beautiful and beautiful. And isn't this a floating island of steel, why don't we see any steel on it now, but stones, dirt, and fine sand everywhere? Is this really an artificial floating island in the sea? Another reporter also noticed these anomalies, and he also issued a similar emotion.

As soon as these reporters got off the boat, they were stunned, and they kept making sighs of emotion, but they didn't notice the two Chinese men and women wearing ancient gorgeous Hanfu standing next to them. After these reporters sighed, the Chinese woman in gorgeous Hanfu walked over and said to these curious reporters: "Everyone, please come with us, the venue of our press conference is not far ahead." ”

Only then did the reporters notice the two young men and women dressed strangely, so they immediately followed the two men and women in Hanfu and walked down a smooth road towards the depths of the floating island. The scenery on both sides of the paved road was very beautiful, and they walked slowly on the way, passing sandy beaches, woods, flowers, streams, small hills, waterfalls, and finally a large building.

The reporters were a little stunned, in the places they had just passed, the scenery was very beautiful, and those scenery were cleverly blended together, and suddenly it became both real and illusory, and it looked like they were in a fairyland on earth. And the air on the floating island is very fresh and natural, so that they all have a feeling of completely letting go of their minds, and they linger in it, almost not wanting to leave there.

And when these reporters saw the large complex in front of them, they immediately let out an exclamation again.

"I'm not mistaken, is this large complex a hospital? I saw that it was written with the words "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital". A reporter said suspiciously.

"You should be right, because what I saw was also the six big words "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital". A reporter next to him said.

"Could it be that Star Group has opened a hospital here? If you simply understand the name of this hospital, it seems that this hospital can treat terminal diseases. The female reporter said earlier.

"Wouldn't it? The Star Group has such a big breath, there are so many terminal diseases in this world, how can it be treated? They actually dare to take such a terrible name as "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital", this time I am afraid that they will be laughed at by the world. A reporter said.

"That's not necessarily, you must know that Liu Hui, the boss of the Star Group, made his fortune by opening a hospital. Three years ago, he opened a Hantang hospital in Bashan City, China, and the Hantang hospital was able to treat AIDS, a news that not many people wanted to believe at the time. However, later facts proved that Hantang Hospital does have the ability to treat AIDS. Now the Star Group is a well-deserved Taishan Beidou in the pharmaceutical industry, and many of the products they have launched have very good results. So in my opinion, this "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital" may really be able to treat the world's terminal diseases? A reporter familiar with Liu Hui's entrepreneurial history retorted.

"But wasn't that Hantang Hospital later proven to be false by the world? They simply can't treat AIDS and are now out of business. An intern reporter who had just come out of society asked suspiciously.

"Little brother, you haven't been in the industry for a long time, so there are some situations that you don't know yet. Hantang Hospital developed and grew in the hands of Liu Hui, and it began to decline gradually after he left, and the mystery of this can be seen at once. Personally, I believe that Liu Hui has the ability to cure AIDS patients, which can be seen from the fact that Star Group has invented so many special drugs. It's just that there may be some reasons in the middle that we don't know that led to the rapid decline of Hantang Hospital, otherwise how can the AIDS patients cured by Hantang Hospital explain it? An old reporter said.

"There is such a thing, so if you say this, it is really possible for the "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital" of the Star Group to treat terminal diseases! The intern reporter said.

"If those terminally ill patients really recuperate in this beautiful paradise on earth, maybe they can recover automatically without medical treatment?" The female reporter sighed.

"Yes, I just don't know how the Star Group got it, but it actually made the environment here so good, I don't want to leave when I come." A journalist said.

This group of reporters continued to sigh along the way, they entered the "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital" under the leadership of the two Hanfu men and women, they passed through this very elegant hospital, and entered a large auditorium in the center of the hospital, in this large auditorium, there were already a lot of media reporters. They were having a lively conversation, and it seemed that what they had just seen on the road had made them have a lot of questions.

There was a long table on the rostrum of this large hall, and a few seats behind it, but there was no one on it. At the back of the rostrum, there is a big red banner with the words "Star Group Press Conference" written on it, and in the passages on both sides of the auditorium, there are some young men and women wearing Hanfu, they are generous, dignified and mysterious, with the classical beauty of China, becoming a unique scenery in the auditorium.

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion, a group of reporters came in from outside, it seemed that they were the reporters who arrived later, and they were also talking to each other with some excitement after sitting down, and it seemed that they were also shocked by this large floating island in the sea.

As time went by, the reporters in the back were brought here one after another, and the number of reporters in the entire auditorium began to increase, and the Hanfu men and women standing next to them began to pour tea and water for these reporters, providing them with thoughtful services.

The press conference of a super-large enterprise like the Star Group will definitely be welcomed and liked by the people of the world, so many TV media have applied to the Star Group to broadcast the press conference live, so that those who cannot come can understand the latest developments of the Star Group as soon as possible.

In Liu Hui's plan, the scale of the press conference of the Star Group is as large as possible, and it is best to let the people of the world know about it, so as to facilitate the smooth implementation of his plan.

Some anxious TV reporters have set up their cameras and recorded all the scenes, and although it is not possible to broadcast live on television yet, these recorded footage will certainly be of great use in the future.

Half an hour later, the media reporters who came to attend the press conference of Star Group were almost there. And those media who did not come either did not pass the strict security check of the Star Group, or they will not come.

As the press conference time approached, major TV stations were ready to broadcast live TV, and those media reporters began to report the news on the Internet, so that those who do not watch TV can also learn about the latest situation through the Internet.

Suddenly, there was a burst of passionate music in the auditorium, and the reporters at the scene knew that this was a song called "Our Future is in the Starry Sky" launched by the Star Group, and the sound of this song marked the official start of the press conference.

Accompanied by the song "Our Future is in the Starry Sky", the three of them entered the auditorium from behind, led by the on-site service staff. They ascended to the rostrum of the Great Hall and sat down separately. The three people are Liu Hui, Mei Peng and Li Zhi of Star Group, and Li Zhi will be the moderator of this press conference.

Seeing that the boss of the Star Group had already arrived, the TV stations that were broadcasting live immediately pointed their cameras at Liu Hui and the three of them, striving not to miss any tiny part of the press conference.

The following media reporters all knew Liu Hui and Li Zhi, but some people didn't know Mei Peng and felt that Mei Peng was a little faceless, so they asked each other who was sitting next to Liu Hui.

Suddenly, a reporter said: "Ah, I remember, the man next to Liu Hui is called Mei Peng, he used to be the president of Bashan Hantang Hospital, and later after Hantang Hospital was nationalized in Huaxia, he came to Hong Kong with Liu Hui, and he served as the vice president of the Star Group." should be regarded as one of the veterans of the Star Group, but I don't know what his purpose is to attend this press conference today? ”

After being reminded by this reporter, those who didn't know Mei Peng immediately remembered Mei Peng, a person who was once very famous, but because of the change of hands of Hantang Hospital, Mei Peng began to become low-key and gradually faded out of the media's sight. I don't know why he suddenly appeared at this press conference, does it have anything to do with the "Starry Sky Terminal Hospital" he saw outside?

And Mei Peng, who attended this press conference today, was in a suit and leather shoes, full of red light, and looked very energetic. His heart was also excited, and after so long of hibernation, it was finally his turn to play.
